In this study, we prepared and evaluated hydroxyapatite-gelatin/curcumin nanofibrous composites and determined their antimicrobial effects against , and . Hydroxyapatite-gelatin/curcumin nanofibrous composites were prepared by the electrospinning method. The prepared nanocomposites were then subjected to physicochemical studies by the light scattering method for their particle size, Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify their functional groups, X-ray diffraction (XRD) to study their crystallinity, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study their morphology. For the microbial evaluation of nanocomposites, the disk diffusion method was used against , , and . The results showed that the nanofibers were uniform in shape without any bead (structural defects). The release pattern of curcumin from the nanocomposite was a two-stage release, 60% of which was released in the first two days and the rest being slowly released until the 14th day. The results of the microbial evaluations showed that the nanocomposites had significant antimicrobial effects against all bacteria ( = 0.0086). It seems that these nanocomposites can be used in dental tissue engineering or as other dental materials. Also, according to the appropriate microbial results, these plant antimicrobials can be used instead of chemical antimicrobials, or along with them, to reduce bacterial resistance.
在本研究中,我们制备并评估了羟基磷灰石 - 明胶/姜黄素纳米纤维复合材料,并测定了它们对[具体细菌名称1]、[具体细菌名称2]和[具体细菌名称3]的抗菌效果。通过静电纺丝法制备了羟基磷灰石 - 明胶/姜黄素纳米纤维复合材料。然后,对制备的纳米复合材料进行了物理化学研究,采用光散射法测定其粒径,利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)鉴定其官能团,通过X射线衍射(XRD)研究其结晶度,并使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)研究其形态。对于纳米复合材料的微生物评估,采用纸片扩散法针对[具体细菌名称1]、[具体细菌名称2]和[具体细菌名称3]进行测试。结果表明,纳米纤维形状均匀,无任何珠粒(结构缺陷)。姜黄素从纳米复合材料中的释放模式为两阶段释放,其中60%在头两天释放,其余部分缓慢释放直至第14天。微生物评估结果表明,纳米复合材料对所有细菌均具有显著的抗菌效果(P = 0.0086)。看来这些纳米复合材料可用于牙科组织工程或作为其他牙科材料。此外,根据适当的微生物学结果,这些植物抗菌剂可替代化学抗菌剂使用,或与它们一起使用,以降低细菌耐药性。
